Squarespace updated its privacy policy effective July 15, 2026, restructuring how it describes personal information collection and use. The policy removed specific language about domain registration contact information being subject to ICANN compliance rules, replaced its 2FA SMS framework with separate optional SMS and marketing SMS categories, expanded Financial Solutions Services to include Balance Services and Capital Services beyond Payments Services, added new collection categories for SMS marketing and product enablement information, and clarified identity verification procedures to include bank statements and specific triggering scenarios. The operational effect is that SMS phone numbers are now collected under two distinct opt-in categories (transactional and marketing) rather than one, financial services scope is explicitly broadened, and identity verification triggers are more clearly defined.
